UnfrozenCaveman Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Why hasn't the original trilogy released on DVD yet? Is George planning to add a lot of content to the dvd's? It's kind of odd that he waited almost a full year after the release of Ep I VHS to release the DVD of it. Your thoughts appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 He said he wouldn't until all of them are out and even then he said he would only release the special editions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Apprentice Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Well, the reason for not releasing them would be that he just has a lot of things to do now. Ep. 3 to be exact..... He probabaly wants to make sure the OT DVD's are very high quality so he will wait until he can focus attention on them completely. It's really a good thing when you think about it. Quality vs. Earlier release. Easy decision for me. Quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Well said, Jedi Apprentice. I can't wait to have them on DVD [like most I'm sure] and also, I hope there are some goodies to be found in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waffleman Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Oh yes, Im sure there will be. As most of you probrobly know thier will be a large six disk DVD collection that will be released before the original series on DVD. Im going to buy the individual new ones, the individual classics, and keep the six in the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 It's also because there is alot of time converting video to dvds, so that is probally another reason. *800th post* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnfrozenCaveman Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 Ah, I see your point now. I don't think the Special Edition should be the only dvd release. I have the VHS special edition, and sometimes I wish I just had the original versions. I'm going to buy the what will be the best value- whether that's a trilogy or just buy seperate. Quality vs. Earlier release Sounds like what a lot of people are saying for SWG too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacco Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I heard that George lucas is never going to to put the original trilogy on DVD's. But I don't know, it was just a rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't know, it was just a rumor. That would be an incredible marketing mistake for him. He wouldn't ever do that. Can't you just see a massive mob of Star Wars junkies beating down his house to make him do it? I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeathBringer Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Yea I am absolutely sure that you can only get it one dvd when they (12345&6)are out on dvd.
